Ive been reading this forum for a good few years and have always mused to myself some off the opinions of the many cars asked about on here. It would appear that there is in fact no good car that ticks all box's for all (funny that) and most have serious issues. When some of the more reliable cars a mentioned they tend to be kinda drab. So is it a rather bland Pulsar or Camry that wins lol cause any Ford, Holden, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Mazda, a few Toyotas, Subaru,Honda always seem to have all manner of problems. And lets not even mention cars not built in the land of the rising sun or apparently Thiland. SO which car is All powerfull all the time Really economical, but still hugely powerfull Can tow 10 tons Can fit a rugby team, but still be economical, and all powerfull Never needs any servicing ever, but still be all powerfull and economcal Easy to park but big and manly Easy to get in and out of, But low and sleek Drinks all fuels Only costs $100 at service times, but dosnt need servicing so this is void My Grandmother can drive it, but be all powerfull My 16 yo can drive it, but still be all powerfull It can be insured for about $200 full cover Its auto Its Manual Its Red, Blue, Green, White, Grey, Beige, Black, Purple, orange etc Has power steering but not to light of course Does a 10 sec 1/4 or quicker, but be economical My dog can go in it and not ruin it Has all manner of useless devices I may play with once then forget Really really cheap parts that are available anytime I want Tyres are about $75 each. Must handle like its on rails Must never rust
Must be one that fits that simple bill. SURLY!

congratulations you have just discovered the meaning of the word "compromise"
on a more topical note, I found myself thinking 6 cylinder falcon wagon through much of those bullet points.

yep totally agree superb car although the doors have a habit of falling off and that self destructing windshield which cost twice the cars value to replace but you know you can trust the reliable toyota brand name even though the only thing toyota on it are the side mirrors.

Waimak Classic Cars (Jesmond) always are expensive. He offers very little if you are trying to sell to him though.
